What will happen is these two will stick together and keep moving east, and the service low will be to the south, but it has pumped moisture in our direction. At the surface, we have dry air, so what you see on the radar is evaporating, but as we go through the day, soon he will the moisture amkesmakes its way to the ground and we will see stove.
